Creekside Fall Festival

Hi there! It's Caleb, and I just have to tell you what happened on Saturday. We went to the Fall Festival at Creekside Elementary. It is a fine institute of learning that I hope to attend someday. Thanks Meemaw and Peepaw, for the donation for the silent auction. Some really nice people bought it and are looking forward to seeing Skunk Ridge.

While we were there, we met Sparky the Fire Dog. Anna and I were both brave and shook his hand. He gave us stickers, and I was so fascinated I stood there for about 15 minutes saying nice things to him. Daddy had to bring me back later, too. I told him all sorts and stories, hugged him several times, and he was so impressed he gave me a goody bag, too! He didn't know I used to run screaming in the other direction anytime I saw someone like him. I've gotten so brave!

I spotted this right off. Don't you like the train's name? I sure do! If Mommy and Daddy had let me, I'd have ridden this all day long!

I was so excited when I got in my car for the first time.

By the second ride, I had my routine down.

First, you chill out until the conductor takes your ticket.

Then you hide for a little bit.

Just when Mommy's starting to think I must have climbed out, I pop out and throw my hands up in the air. Wheeeeee!

Anna even got a turn riding on the train. She picked the pink car of course. Then she ate some pink cotton candy (she shared a little with me), and we played some games. Daddy helped me score some baskets, and we got to try to knock a frog onto a lily pad with a big hammer. THAT was fun! We had hot dogs for supper, and then went home to go to bed. It was a fun day!
